I hope you're all eagerly awaiting news about PLAY 2006, well so are we! We're having troube finding a venue that meets our requirements, primarilly

a) Is cheap enough to keep ticket price downb) Is in (or roughly in) the Midlandsc) Isn't just an empty field

Sounds simple you may say, but alas not so far. If anyone knows of any decent venues can you let us know here? Did you go to a little festival last Summer in a nice quiet tucked away place in the countryside somewhere perhaps? Did it have anything like running water etc?

If you can think of anywhere please post whatever details you have, or send a pm to me instead if you fancy

Posted:15th Feb 2006There is a really good venue that will probably be booked up pretty soon that is available the week after or three weeks after.... Do you wait to see if something else comes up? As it hasn't yet... or take a good venue that seems really interested?

Hmm.... toughy....

Aim high and you'll know your limits, aim low and you'll never know how high you could have climbed.

I've just realised that if PLAY was to be in Swindon on the weekend after Glasto weekend (first weekend of July), it would be at the same time as the Old Town Summer Festival, at which I work (performing/workshops).

it might not be suitable at all, but if people were up for it, it might be nice to involve some jugglers in the summer festival's parade or something . . .

Posted:14th Mar 2006Yeah as Sym says we're pretty much done, just waiting on final confirmations and such. We hav a Norfolk option but keeping it as a back burner for the mo just in case. Same for the Swindon one too that folks were great to find for us

Posted:15th Mar 2006Have a look at the venue page on the ford hall farm site. We will have access to showers and loos, there is a farm shop on the site selling the basics, we have moonbeams back again this year selling amazing food and if all that isn't good enough the town isn't that far away. You will have all you need on site though

Posted:16th Mar 2006Because, if you were too fat to get out the flap it means you couldn't go mouse and bird chasing. Those being 2 of your main hobbies knocked on the head I thought that might make you a little sad.
